Sharjah: Automatic electricity, water, gas connection for tenants after registration
Sharjah residents no longer need to file separate applications to activate electricity, water or gas services after registering a rental contract. A new joint initiative by Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (Sewa) and Sharjah Municipality enables direct activation of utility services once the lease is attested. This eliminates the need for additional paperwork or visits to multiple departments. Once the municipality attests the lease, tenants will automatically receive a text message with the required deposit amount. As soon as the deposit money is paid, Sewa services will be activated without the need for a separate request. The service, launched under the emirate's digital transformation plans, uses an integrated e-link system between the two entities. "This marks a shift in how services are delivered," said Dr Hussein Al Askar, Director of Customer Service at Sewa. "We had previously automated the account closure process after a clearance certificate was issued by the municipality. Now, we're doing the same at the start of the tenancy." What tenants don't have to do Previously, tenants in Sharjah had to first attest their tenancy contract at the municipality, then visit or apply separately at the Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (Sewa) to request service activation. This process involved submitting documents such as the attested contract and Emirates ID and paying a security deposit before utilities could be connected, often requiring coordination with multiple departments and taking several days. The initiative aligns with the UAE's broader goals to reduce bureaucracy and enhance customer satisfaction through simplified, technology-enabled services. Al Askar added that the electronic integration supports Sharjah's goal of offering streamlined, smart services and reflects SEWA's commitment to improving the quality of life for all residents. "This is not just a technical improvement; it's about enhancing the user journey—from contract attestation to utility connection, all without additional steps," he said. Sewa said the initiative will help improve operational efficiency while saving time for both tenants and landlords.

Tokenized equity still in regulatory grey zone — Attorneys
Tokenized stocks and private equity may face several legal challenges, as the emerging real-world asset (RWA) sits in a gray zone that does not grant holders the same legal rights as traditional asset owners, according to industry executives and attorneys. In an email to Cointelegraph, John Murillo, chief business officer of fintech company B2BROKER, said investors should understand the fundamental attributes of any prospective tokenized equity instruments, including any dividend streams, profit-sharing arrangements, or whether the tokenized RWAs simply provide capital appreciation to the holder. The executive said: 'It is crucial to understand that investors do not own actual shares; they hold tokens issued by intermediaries, which may entitle them to payouts if the underlying shares increase in value or are sold. 'There is no direct claim on company assets, no voting rights, and no access to internal financial information,' Murillo continued. This important distinction came into sharper focus after the mixed-asset trading platform Robinhood announced offering OpenAI and SpaceX 'private equity' tokens to European users, prompting OpenAI to clarify that the tokens are not equity in the company. 'I believe it's reasonable to expect that incidents like the 'OpenAI Token' event will recur, where retail investors are marketed tokenized securities in a way that creates material confusion,' attorney Tyler Yagman of the Ferraro Law Firm told Cointelegraph. Despite the confusion, tokenized equities provide a 'compelling' use case, which 'integrate multiple functions of a securities marketplace into a single technology,' Yagman added. The attorney called for clear and comprehensive regulations for tokenized equity instruments, which 'democratize' access to previously inaccessible asset classes. Crypto firms push for tokenized equities trading in the US to a receptive SEC Robinhood is far from the only brokerage firm exploring tokenized equities trading; the platform joins a growing list of crypto titans actively pushing for tokenized stock trading or already offering those services. Tokenized stock trading is already live on crypto exchanges Kraken and Bybit, with over 60 publicly listed companies available for trading across both platforms. Centrifuge, a blockchain platform that integrates RWAs into decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, announced a partnership with the S&P Dow Jones Indices to tokenize the S&P 500 stock market index. Crypto exchange giant Coinbase is reportedly seeking approval from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer tokenized stock trading to its customers. The US SEC, under the leadership of chairman Paul Atkins, is reportedly receptive to industry requests pushing for tokenized financial assets. 'Tokenization is an innovation. And we at the SEC should be focused on how we advance innovation in the marketplace,' Atkins told CNBC on Wednesday. Source:
